Do your part: Register to Vote by Tuesday

"It has been said that democracy is the worst form of government except
all those other forms that have been tried from time to time.” — Winston
Churchill.

Theresa Thompson

In case you haven't heard, we have a big election coming up on November 8, in which we'll decide on who will sit next in the Oval Office, and also smaller races, such as who's managing our local soil and water conservation districts.

Oregon Secretary of State Jeanne P. Atkins said Tuesday that more than 2.5 million people are registered to vote for the first time in the state's history, and is predicting record participation, according to a report from KOIN. The new Oregon Motor Voter program added more than 250,000 new voters, according to that KOIN report.
